University of Virginia Library

---

As I find that it will not be convenient to me to go to
the University to-night I thought I ought to inform you of the
change in my plans.

Mr. Broadus is not going to the country to-day and therefore
I will defer my visit to you until he does go.

I shall go to-morrow afternoon to help about the Salad
although I think it can very well go on without my assistance.
But as I am always ready to go to see you all I shall take that
as an excuse to pay you a short visit. I have determined to
return home before tea and so miss the party—and the good
things. I went to Mr. Flannagan's but found that Mr. Smith had
already executed your commission.
